#32 Baetid dun
Hi guys - after a big roast dinner, Monday morning and another week of work looms large on the horizon...
I'm still playing with TMC 518 #32's... this is a baetid dun, influenced by Mick Hall's photogrpahy, Hisashi Suzuki's CDC Yusurika Stillborn twisted tippet shuck (morphed into a body plus tail) and driven by the thrill of catching on small hooks...
Best,
Andy

Re: #32 Baetid dun
great stuff Andy
That should do good work up on the tributary
Is the body extension flexible enough for hookups?
I like the way the gape is clean, looks like a WMD for sure

Cheers Roy - had the upper bridge on the burn in mind when I tied it, where the water calms down ahead of the weed bed and #28 RC RPE's always work
The body is Zap-A-Gap and very flexible... have been trying to add a little curve in to the profile for added realism... so should also try as an USD pattern.
Guess we'll find out how well it fishesduring the summer clear-out... ;)
Take care,
Andy

Really, REALLY enjoyed those Phillip
The yellow may especially, the translucent abdomen is fantastic and a parachute hackle is very practical on steam.
Are those on Varivas 2200-BL hooks.... lovely profile.
I'm assuming you apply the Copydex to the fibbet tails to form the body - neat innovation - would love to hear and see more.
Best,
Andy

Re: #32 Baetid dun
You are right on both cases Andy. I place the fibbets into a fly holding clip and then apply 3 coats of Copydex with a needle. Tie the post in, then the body, cover up with some dubbing and then the hackle. I do the hackle separate using Spider Web.

Re: #32 Baetid dun
very nice flies for sure. I love extended stuff
this is my extended midge. For the body I would twist flash a boo and bond it together with the non uv knot sence -- can't find non uv anymore and must find something else cause the uv is to brittle and hard
